    Hi,

    On purchasing an R3, I have a major issue with the af, hunting for focus. After the initial focus, the focus points seem to flash randomly around the EVF.

    I have eye control turned off.
    I have eye detection turned on.
    I have Servo selected.
    I have Subject to detect on ‘People’
    I have Subject tracking on.
    I have Switching tracked subjects to ‘0’

    I have Case 4 selected - Tracking sensitivity (-2) - Acc/development tracking (+1)

    I also have the latest firmware installed

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    TIA

    In servo mode you will get focus points to continuously update trying to track movement through the frame.
    Is the subject moving?
